Following on from previous tweet… can’t quite believe I managed to get two significant qualifications amidst a global pandemic, the chaos that caused in schools and whilst battling pregnancy fatigue. Giving myself a pat on the back today 👍

Absolutely thrilled that I am now a @TeacherDevTrust Associate after passing my CPD leadership qualification at the highest level 🎉 I wasn’t sure I’d manage it during a global pandemic & all the difficulties it brings but this goes to show that hard work pays off! #proudofmyself

[Sophie Parton @engteachwbs]

That feeling when you've submitted both your @TeacherDevTrust associate work and your @Ambition_Inst NPQSL during a global pandemic and the most difficult year in education ever. Fingers crossed I actually pass both qualifications now 🤞

Really positive meeting with @Josh_CPD and @PepsMccrea @Ambition_Inst this afternoon all about Steplab and how it works well for our school. Feeling well supported and listened to by the Ambition team 👍

Reading should matter to every secondary teacher. We've written a book that is clear, concise and covers all the essentials.
